Art Explained By A Writer - Ciego popular en Cádiz
Day after day, no matter the weather conditions he was present.
Always the same corner, always the same outfit and always that same expression on his face.
One foot set in front of the other, easy does it, no need to hurry. Time was at his hand.
Well known he was and popular.
Within one hour he easily received what others worked an entire week hard for. No one envied him but there was one who wondered how he did it. It had to be a trick, playing the pathetic, the boy thought. He looked healthy and could work as he'd noticed as he followed Mr. Popular to his home.
He waited like he used to do. The Sun on his face made it glow more than before.
Sir, the boy said, you know that what you do is a bad thing right? He paused... I guess you don't know since I never saw you in church...
How does it feel to be a fraud, a criminal, fooling people, abusing them?
Good, it works as you can see. Theatre it is. Don't you think I am a great actor? They pay to see me acting this way. I take care of their consciousness and make them feel better about themselves and their afterlife.
Like church, the child whispered.
Exactly.
That's why everyone likes you. Here's the deal teach me how to look blind and I won: tell your secret. You know what they say: Children speak the truth!

Its funny that this same boy who condemns this act is about to compromises, seeing so much fortunes acquired by that pretenced blind man, one thing I discovered is that when people do things the wrong way they then to modify the truth about it, imagine the pretender saying that they pay to see him act, he is a good actor anyways but nobody knows he is acting if not they wouldn't have paid to see that, some time ago in campus a claimed to be student walked up to me and said, he needed money to buy a file, I gave, later in the day I saw that same fellow eating an egg roll and a fruit juice higher than the amount I gave him, your story is true, but that young boy shouldn't compromise💕
That was a smartarse and he learned that if he asks everyone it's an easy income. You should have asked him to have a bite. Keep an eye on him or next time take it out of his hands and say: thanks for buying this for me, it's appreciated.
I experienced the same. We have Romanians "begging" with the entire family. They arrive in BMW and earn easily 500 euros per week per person if not more. No need to pay taxes and the villas they build are glitter and gold... the real beggars are scared away (read: threatened away).
For the boy (painting) it might be an exciting experience or who knows he loves acting. Let's be fair: how many will pay a ticket to a theatre?
A great Friday.
It's true that real beggars are scared away because this fake one's confuses us, there are people out there without support who genuinely need this alms, for the young boy I don't think he should try it out if he does he won't stop, nobody will pay to see him act because he never tried it out, 500 euros every weeks is huge for those without hard labour apart from the heat from the sun, I give to beggars but in rare cases because I have seen one that own a home because of begging

We are more careful today as well if it comes to aid. It feels as if they aren't happy (grateful) and my children have been several times harrassed and even scolded as they gave some money. Perphaps an apple or sandwich is better?
A sandwich is better some mistook us to be rich, I feel the better getting satisfied is what pushes them to all this

Yes, it might be better. My youngest said the beggar told her not to be so greedy and give all the cash but she needed the rest to pay the bus back home. Tje truth is she rarely has breakfast and her first meal is if she's back from school (most cases om or later).
I told her not to give again and keep the money for herself. My son had similar experiences, van be it's the city?
I only see them here on the market but I believe the men make the women beg. They watch them from a distance. A pregnant young girl once approached me. I bought us food. She asked for money but said she was hungry so I gave her my seat and plate and stood behind her. I saw the angry face of that guy but at least she had a meal. I was shocked as I saw how hungry she felt.
In principal I don't give to smokers, drug addicts and alcoholics. Once I did to a guy on the parkinglot of the hospital. He helped me to find a free place, watched my car and I spoke with him. He showed his tumor in the abdomen. No doctor would help him so I thought he should buy what makes him feel good for the moment even if it's alcohol. He was kind and good company and what he needed most was someone to listen.
Once a neighbour asked me for money to buy groceries. I said I had none but food and more in the pantry and she could take her shopping bag and take what she needed (she had a baby and so did I). She said: no thanks.
What to think about that?

Congratulations! Your post has been upvoted through @steemcurator03. Good post here should be..Dear @steemcurator03 - @jyoti-thelight I believe there's something wrong with your comment and picture.
Thanks for stopping by. A good Sunday to you.
Es paradójico. Pero sí, ayudar a los desvalidos, según las Santas Escrituras podría ayudarnos a llegar al cielo. ¿Qué opinas al respecto?
Espero que estés bien. Un abrazo.

I believe I have already written what I think is going on. Let's see if the one who uses blindness to fool others is willing to teach a child how to do it. A child smart enough to see through the mascarade unlike the adults who help because they feel pity or more likely it makes them feel better about themselves.
Will they achieve heaven with their "generosity"? I don't think so.
Creo que ya he escrito lo que pienso que está pasando. Veamos si el que usa la ceguera para engañar a los demás está dispuesto a enseñarle a un niño cómo hacerlo. Un niño lo suficientemente inteligente como para ver a través de la máscara a diferencia de los adultos que ayudan porque sienten lástima o, más probablemente, porque los hace sentir mejor consigo mismos. ¿Alcanzarán el cielo con su "generosidad"? No lo creo.
Jeje. Buena respuesta. La "generosidad" debería ser una cualidad de todo ser humano, y no un simulacro de bondad para entrar al reino de Dios.
